don't get me wrong I like the iphone. but it is not a smartphone just a rather fancy featurephone. they don't want third party software, so if you want to boycot don't buy it in the first place:) if they didn't make the device with 3rd party in mind you really can't expect them to care about you. it is the same on other platforms even the open ones, if you don't stick to the rules (public api) it is your fault... over and out.
